THE ST. LUCIE ARRIVED.

The barkentine st. Lucie, j. T.
Erskine master, arrived last evening,
$50 days from New York, with
general cargo. When between Staten
Island and Falkland Island the st.
Lucie received succession of heavy
gales. The flying jibboom, with all
attachments, was carried away, and
the steering apparatus was knocked
out of time. A portion of the cargo
(about 25 tons) was jettisoned. Fair
weather was experienced in rounding
the Horn, but when in 81 degrees
South Pacific, an eight-hour hurri-
cane was encountered, but the st.
Lucie weathered it splendidly. The
st. Lucie is consigned TO Messrs.
Castle & Cooke.

CANADA.
Ottawa, CONT August 9.-The
''Free Press" tonight has the fol-
lowing: On inquiry at the Fisheries
Department this afternoon it was as
certained that there are grounds for
the statements telegraphed from
Halifax that some British war vessels
will assist in the work of protecting
the gulf and the Atlantic coast
fisheries from American poachers.
Some confidential communications
in reference TO the matter have been
received here from the admiralty
authorities. 1t is understood that
her Majesty's war ships will not
only act as patrols for the purpose
of keeping Americans outside the
forbidden waters, but will be pre-
pared to make seizures whenever
and wherever the opportunity offers.
There are three war ships avail
able for the service-Admiral Lyons
flagship, the Belerophon, the Canada
and the Pleiades. These vessels are
now in Halifax harbor. The present
intention, though a change in the
programme is possible, is to start
out the ships early next week. They
will proceed at once to st. Law
renee, to REINFORCE the five Canadian
cruisers already there.
Since the vigorous enforcement of
the treaty American vessels, accord
ing to advices to the fisheries depart
ment, are returning home empty
handed, while Canadian boats are
making big hauls. The mackerel
catch along the American coast has
proved a failure.
Halifax, Aug. 9.-Admiral Luce,
United States navy, will leave Hall
fax for Bar Harbor, Me-, next
Thursday, on the war ship Rich
mond. The Ossipee and Galena will
probably sail in company with the
Richmond.
Vienna, Aug. 1.-THE Prince
Ferdinand of Sake Coburg-G otha,
who is on his way to Sofia to assume
the Bulgarian throne, slept last night
at Orsora. He rose early and re-
sumed his journey at this morning.
Prince Ferdinand sent note to the
Powers yesterday stating as his rea-
son for starting for Bulgaria without
their consent that he was sure their
objections to his acceptance of the
Bulgarian throne was not due to any
objection to him personally, but
merely directed to the manner of
his election.
London, August I'm the Com

animated debate between Balfour,
Harcourt, Chamberlain, Dillon and
others, postponement of the rent
clause until Monday was agreed to.
The House then proceeded TO other
amendments.

SATURDAY. APRIL 10, 1887.
Neither wise Nor Harmless.
jackson Clarion.

It will strike the average public
that many of the railroads have
shown neither the wisdom OF the
serpent, nor the harmlessness oil
the dove in their hasty and ill-ad-
vised construction Of the Inter-
States Commerce Law. They have /
overdone the game IN their ADJUST
ment of rates under the long and
short haul clause. Because they
are not permitted, all things being
equal aud under the same cOndl.
tons, to charge more for a long
haul than a short one, they have
raised freight all along the line.
For example, they have heretofore
charged about twenty-five cents
more on a barrel of -four from
Cairo to New Orleans. They have
re-adjusted their rates, however,
under the law, and reversed the
figures so as to charge twenty
five cents or thereabouts more to
New Orleans than to jackson. III
there are no conditions that will
warrant this change OF figures, "a
question for the Commission, and
not the companies to decided, then
il is manifest that there should be
a reduction IN the charge from
Cairo and Jackson. On the con-
trary, with strange peryersity and
illogicalness, they have increased
frelghts not only at New Orleans
but Jackson, and, indeed, from
one end of the line to the other.
Logically an increase OF rates to
New Orleans should be followed
by reduction of ireights to Jack
son and intermediate points. We
have cited the single article oi
flour. One item will illustrate the
whole.
The public is shrewd enough ia
understand the motive of the cor
porations in their hasty action
They resisted the bill to prevent
extortion and discrimination pend
ing its passage, by all the influence
that money and talent could weld
and now they are striving to rendel
1t odious by adjusting freights II
o manner never contemplated b.
its trainers, nor warranted by tho
law. The Philadelphia Record haI
q pertinent article on the subject
"The railroad companies are try
ing to make the Interstate Com
merce Law as odious as possible
and they are proceeding in wa.
that will be likely to hurt thei
business. They announce q sus
pension of the sale ofmileage tick
cts aud all advance In their charg
es for communication tickets. Th
action will result in a diminishe
traffic after a time, aud will driv
into the cities those persons VIII
had been induced through the 10y
rates of the railroad companies t
locate at stations along the var
Gus lines. In freights, also, ther
will be many changes. 1t ha
